Do bugs &amp; moths stay away from this light? I understand it's warm white (unusual for LED), so I'm hoping it can light our walk w/o attracting bugs.

We live in the Northwest so we don't have a large number of bugs. I haven't noticed any circling the light, but whether that is the light or the area I don't know.

Has anyone every used an led or florescent to their "life expectancy". I'm guessing about 3% of the real world.I've had many, Many incandescents outlast the previously mentioned. Thanks China

I think thaty that I have seen that it was Dim-able. I use mine where I need a lot of light. Like the area to eat and cool. They have enough light that even when fly tying you do not have to have a close light.

I've not had this problem. I've owned 2 of this product for 4+ years. As long as the product sees movement, the light will stay on. I have mine placed in 2 separate rooms. The lights will come on as soon as the door is open to either room. Make sure that NO MOTION is seen by the device and it will not turn on unless it is defective.

the bulb is very interesting. it works when it wants, goes off when the nite is young and is very temperamental. would i recommend it? not if you want it for security the whole nite long. we are trying to figure out why it is so temperamental but so far no luck. so up or down is not an issue with us, the lights are.

I dont know, I have never used it in an area with a lot of bugs. I only used it in the desert. The lights are not that high powered, but then again really any light will attract soem sort of bug.

there is adjustment to how long this can stay on. It can shut off after a few minutes or stay on for hours. I keep tinkering with the adjustment, because they have stayed on all night. They can go off completely, and come on with movement. They can go down to a dimmer light so there is enough light to see on my porch, but not bother neighbors - and again go to bright with movement. Or just on for hours. But you do have to have the proper bulbs for this to do the dimmer and changes. If you use the wrong bulbs I believe they don't do the motion thing, but just stay on continuously.

There are definitely less bugs but certain bugs don't seem to be affected. I see mainly moths being attracted to the bulbs. But not really anything else.

I had the same problem..It must be connected to an exterior wall ! I had to try several places because I did not like the bright blinking light ..I finally just put a piece of tape over the light..since I installed it I have only seen 4 cockroaches in the house and before that there were running around like monsters so I guess it works !

I've done my own research on LED lighting and just with the benefit of lower electric bill, you will enjoy instant light at the flick of the switch. In stead of the normal heat up from the florecent. Also since we switch to florecent it saves on electricity but when they go out you have to find the right place to throw them away. (Suppose to better huh?) Gimmick! Anyhow the life spand of LEDs makes it a god send not to replace them for quite a while. Hope this help. Just a Handyman. Brian

I haven't seen the light attract any bugs. It provides a glow more than a light. Atmosphere with a pool of lights that might be 8' across when the light is hung at 6'. I hang them on the awning on my RV so I can find it in the dark and get up the steps with no problem. I also hang one or two in the RV so I can navigate without needing a flashlight.

Moths are attracted to the UV light. I have my Flowtron mounted inside a milking parlor so I don't get many moths. If you mount it outside you will probably see more moths killed.

Cheaper to just buy a new light. I have learned to just seal them thoroughly, To keep the bugs from shorting it out. Hope this helps....

The lights are not all that bright. They do cast a nice ambient light. I don't believe they would be bright enough to attract "June Bugs".

It's made only for outside but as for wasps and bees? No of course not. Bug lights attract flying nighttime insects like mosquitoes, moths, and maybe the odd house fly or junebug.

You could practically use this thing as a long distance beacon, so it'll pull anything attracted to light in, including moths. This thing is non-discriminatory in its electro bug genocide.

I bought two of these jellyfish and have just tested both bases (I only keep batteries in one) the LED bases both work fine. Very bright color change which is about every second and includes blue, red, purple and green and also a combination of colors. Be sure you are using a name brand battery which may give you better results. I use Duracell. The light is bright enough I could read by it and after a short while of having the LEDs on when switched off the jellyfish glows on its own for a while. I often use mine as a nightlight in my bathroom. If you think your LED is defective I'm sure the company would send you a replacement. Good Luck.
